I like the idea of a list of rules that we live by. I'd like an updated version though. For instance, that one on coveting ought to include the new car, boat, pool, big screen TV....oh, and the wife and kids...but maybe not at the top of the list these days.

good job son
you also get to the heart of the tome there.
most people number the Sabbath as the 4th.
But before that, the thing gets pretty vague and various beliefs number that section in various ways.
although, a lawyer would point out to you that
1. other gods are recognized.
2. they just aren't supposed to be set above YHVH.
so we can worship other gods; we just have to be sure that YHVH tops the worship list.

Kooka -- I wonder if anyone has actually ever read these damn things?
I look at number 10 for example: "Thou shalt not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male or female slave, nor his ox or his ass (mule)." gee, there's a current guideline that hold's a lot of relevance but of course you can just edit out the parts you don't like.

I agree that it's much better
to be an example to others than to tell others what to do. I believe it's also important to learn from other people's examples.
